16 For where a testament [is], there must also of necessity intervene [the] death of the testator.
17 For a testament [is] confirmed by the death: otherwise it is not valid as long as the testator lives.
18 From which came that not even the first [one] was dedicated without blood.
19 For when Moses had read every commandment of the law to all the people, taking the blood of calves and of goats, with water, and scarlet wool, and hyssop, he sprinkled both the book and all the people,
20 saying, This [is] the blood of the testament which God has commanded unto you.
11 Therefore remember that ye [being] in time past Gentiles in [the] flesh, who were called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in [the] flesh, which is made by hands,
12 that at that time ye were without Christ, being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world,
13 but now in Christ Jesus ye who at another time were far off are made near by the blood of the Christ.
4 And such trust we have through the Christ towards God:
5 Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our sufficiency [is] of God,
6 who also has made us able ministers of the new testament, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
17 Therefore if anyone [is] in Christ, [they are] a new creation: old things are passed away; behold, all things are made new.
18 And all this by God, who reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and gave us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 for certainly God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them and having placed in us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did exhort [you] by us; we beseech [you] in Christ's name, be ye reconciled to God.
21 For he has made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.:
31 Behold, the days come, said the LORD, in which I will make a new covenant with the house of Jacob and with the house of Judah:
32 not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day [that] I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt because they invalidated my covenant although I was a husband unto them, said the LORD;
33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, said the LORD, I will give my law in their souls and write it in their hearts and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
34 And they shall no longer teach every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD, for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, said the LORD, for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
14 how much more shall the blood of the Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from the works of death to serve the living God?
15 And for this cause he is the mediator of the new testament, so that death intervening for the redemption of the rebellions [that took place] under the first testament, those who are called might receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.
1 For the law having a shadow of good things to come, [and] not the very image of the things, can never make perfect those who come by the same sacrifices which they offer year by year continually.
2 Otherwise, they would cease to offer them, because those that sacrifice, once purged, would have no more conscience of sin.
3 But in these [sacrifices] each year [the same] remembrance of sins is made.
4 For the blood of bulls and of goats cannot take away sins.
10 In this does the charity consist, not because we had loved God, but because he loved us and has sent his Son [to be] the reconciliation for our sins.
27 And taking the cup and having given thanks, he gave [it] to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;
28 for this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
13 In that he says, New, he has made the first old. Now that which decays and waxes old [is] ready to vanish away.:
20 Likewise also [he took and gave them] the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you.
22 by so much better testament is Jesus made surety.
6 but now a more excellent ministry is his, in that he is the mediator of a better testament, which was established upon better promises.
7 For if that first [covenant] had been faultless, then no place should have been sought for the second.
